Humanities & Social Sciences2016300 Years of Solitude: Ukrainian Donbas in Search of Senses and the Roots
by Stanislav Kulchytsky, Larysa Yakubova
In recent years, Donbas has been at the epicenter of a heated public discussion. This book is a comprehensive study of the historical experience of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It highlights several problems of rapid social and economic growth and painful stagnation, powerful migration processes and the multi-ethnic population structure and, as a result, an unstructured identity and short historical memory. The authors explore the origins of the Soviet mythologemes of the "people of Donbas”, “All-Union stokehold”, “melting pot”, which have been influencing the formation of the consciousness of the region’s population and the collective image of the Ukrainian Donbas for a long time. This book presents a detailed analysis of the events of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the factors that preceded the creation of quasi-states, as well as possible ways and tools to overcome the social and cultural consequences of the military conflict.

The transformation of a mental Ukraine into a real Ukraine, people - into a nation, a territory – into a state is a semantic axis of this trilogy. Book 1. Ukraine and Ukrainians in 1917-1939 The first book is devoted to the interwar period – a key stage of ethnic modernization and mobilization of Ukrainians, the culmination of the Ukrainian Revolution, and the battle for Ukraine in the context of the First World War. Book 2. Between World War II and the Cold War: Wars in the Destiny of Ukraine The second book tells about Ukrainians in the Second World War, after which the Ukrainian lands were united within one state, and in the Cold War, which made possible the sovereignty of Ukraine. Book 3. 30 Years of Independence: Challenges, Trials, Answers The third book is dedicated to the period of Ukrainian Independence and summarizes the thirty years of Ukrainian post-totalitarian transit. Contradictions of internal development, geopolitical challenges, three modern Ukrainian revolutions, and the Russian-Ukrainian war are the focus of understanding the path of Ukraine and Ukrainians in the global world.

Afterwards Sandor laughs it off as a joke, but that night he sees the shape of a man approaching the house. He is dragging someone – or something – behind him through the snow. Sandor goes down to the piano room. The devil has delivered a bare-foot young man who Sandor instantly recognises. But what is this creature? And what exactly is to be done with him?

by Emmanuelle Rey
Mauve, Tito and Diamond have been walking along the highway, under the scorching July sun, for the past three days. It was Mauve who decided everything, on a whim, when she realised that this time, her mom had really messed up. And, at fifteen, it was out of the question to be separated from her eight and two-year-old brothers to live with yet another rotten foster family.

Blue Postcards
by Douglas Bruton
Once there was a street in Paris and it was called the Street of Tailors. This was years back, in the blue mists of memory. Now it’s the 1950s and Henri is the last tailor on the street. With meticulous precision he takes the measurements of men and notes them down in his leather-bound ledger. He draws on the cloth with a blue chalk, cuts the pieces and sews them together. When the suit is done, Henri adds a finishing touch: a blue Tekhelet thread hidden in the trousers somewhere, for luck. One day, the renowned French artist Yves Klein walks into the shop, and orders a suit. Set in Paris, this atmospheric tale delicately intertwines three connected narratives and timelines, interspersed with observations of the colour blue. It is a meditation on truth and lies, memory and time and thought. It is a leap of the imagination, a leap into the void.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2020SPRITZEN. Geschichte der weiblichen Ejakulation (Squirting. A History of Female Ejaculation)
Nautilus Flugschrift
by Stephanie Haerdle
Do women squirt when they come? Yes, they do, there is lots of evidence!But female ejaculation is still controversial, even today. For some it is a myth, for the other everyday sexuallife, and it seems to depend very much on your political position whether you are willing to believe or not.What do we as a society really know about this aspect of female lust, what is common anatomic knowledgeand why are so many details still unknown?The search for traces and evidence of ejaculation of women leads well into pre-Christian times and aroundthe globe. And the finds are surprising: For thousands of years, ejaculation was a natural part of sexualexperience for both men and women. Only in Europe, in the 19th century, female ejaculation was beingridiculed, fought, ousted, tabooed, and finally largely forgotten – until it was rediscovered in the 20th century.“Spritzen” is a well-read and entertaining display of how female ejaculation was understood and judged,how certain concepts of female sexuality and female body made the perception of female ejaculationpossible, or impossible, or exploited in mainstream porn business, when female squirting cumshots werediscovered as a source of income rather than pleasure.Recently, a lot of new publications on vulva, vagina or menstruation appear, showing a renewed interest inthe female body. A current and well-founded inventory of female ejaculation is not among them.Stephanie Haerdle closes this gap. Her book aims to entertain, surprise, provide arguments and inform. Itexplains the »hardware« that makes female ejaculation possible (clitoral complex and female prostate), itexplores anatomy, gynecology and urology.
